Donavan Tate, who led Cartersville High School to back-to-back state championships, parlayed that success into being chosen by the San Diego Padres No. 3 overall in baseball's amateur draft Tuesday night.

Through out his senior year of high school, Chris Beck prepared for the grueling schedule of playing college baseball.

With a scholarship to Georgia Southern in his back pocket, he woke up every morning at 5:30 to train, went to his classes and then participated in practices or games after school. That's what life as a college baseball player entails, but Beck may not ever have to deal with that schedule.
